1 00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,840 Speaker 1: The Seahawks begin the second half of the season with 2 00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:10,240 Speaker 1: a dramatic overtime win saw What Stays. Monday Night, the 3 00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:13,320 Speaker 1: Hawks travel to San Francisco, where the undefeated forty nine 4 00:00:13,360 --> 00:00:15,920 Speaker 1: ers are ready. Tonight, Pete Carroll looks ahead to the 5 00:00:15,920 --> 00:00:18,800 Speaker 1: matchup with the NFC West leaders, and it's a special 6 00:00:18,920 --> 00:00:21,279 Speaker 1: edition of miked Up. We had Coach Pete Carroll miked 7 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:24,759 Speaker 1: up for the comeback against the Bucks. Rest rest is 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:32,880 Speaker 1: he there? Keep the play alive, Keep the play alive forever. 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:35,920 Speaker 1: It's gonna be hot. Well, this is your team and 10 00:00:36,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Speaker 1: your show, Seahawks Saturday Night. Down, Yes, Bobby Bucks, Hey, 11 00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:12,880 Speaker 1: let's go now, look up and much more with Coach 12 00:01:12,920 --> 00:01:15,360 Speaker 1: Carol miked up as we welcome you to Seahawks Saturday Night, 13 00:01:15,440 --> 00:01:17,360 Speaker 1: joined by the head coach. Coach last week was a 14 00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:20,480 Speaker 1: fun week to have you miked up. Oh, I can't imagine. 15 00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:22,720 Speaker 1: I haven't heard it, so I'm I'm going to hold 16 00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,960 Speaker 1: back a judgment here if your mind. What I enjoyed 17 00:01:24,959 --> 00:01:27,319 Speaker 1: the most though, is that sort of segment. It's relatable. 18 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:29,640 Speaker 1: As fans, we live and die by every single play, 19 00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,240 Speaker 1: and it's great to see the enthusiasm you have on 20 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:34,360 Speaker 1: the sidelines. Good. I just I don't have to be 21 00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,679 Speaker 1: miked up again the rest of the year. So I'm 22 00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:37,480 Speaker 1: okay now we made it through it. Well, the excitement 23 00:01:37,480 --> 00:01:40,240 Speaker 1: at least continues this week with San Francisco. But it's 24 00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:42,959 Speaker 1: the first of four straight primetime games for this team. 25 00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:45,120 Speaker 1: What kind of opportunity is this month ahead on the 26 00:01:45,200 --> 00:01:48,400 Speaker 1: national stage. Well, we'll see. We just take it one 27 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,240 Speaker 1: one shout out at the time. But primetime has always 28 00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: been something that we look forward to, you know, and 29 00:01:51,840 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 1: I feel like we have a good mentality about going 30 00:01:54,120 --> 00:01:56,120 Speaker 1: into it. So you know, we're gonna have a good 31 00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:58,440 Speaker 1: time on Monday Night and we'll hopefully play a good 32 00:01:58,440 --> 00:02:01,160 Speaker 1: football game. But it seems to bring out the best 33 00:02:01,160 --> 00:02:02,480 Speaker 1: in this and so we'll see if we can keep 34 00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:06,080 Speaker 1: capturing that. Yeah, eight and two overall under yourself on 35 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,560 Speaker 1: Monday Night football overall great. I'm mondor Night Football twenty seven, 36 00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:12,680 Speaker 1: five and one all time nine are specifically they're West 37 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:15,840 Speaker 1: hands out to you. Well, they're a really good team, Guiliere. 38 00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: They're so well balanced in a way that you know, 39 00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:21,440 Speaker 1: we really respect. They run the football really a lot, 40 00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,880 Speaker 1: and they committed to it, and they play really good defense, 41 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: particularly up front, and so if you put those two 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,040 Speaker 1: elements together and the special teams are solid in all ways, 43 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:32,600 Speaker 1: that makes them a really hard team defeat. So we 44 00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:34,760 Speaker 1: got to play really good ball. We're gonna have to 45 00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:36,280 Speaker 1: take the football away from a couple of times to 46 00:02:36,320 --> 00:02:38,280 Speaker 1: get it done, and it's gonna be a good match 47 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:41,040 Speaker 1: given their defensive numbers. Is this the biggest challenge your 48 00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:43,320 Speaker 1: offense is faced this year? Yeah? I think so. This 49 00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,080 Speaker 1: is you know, the top right group and there's is 50 00:02:47,400 --> 00:02:50,240 Speaker 1: on fire as you can get as a defense. Robert 51 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,239 Speaker 1: salis doing a great job with them and made sure 52 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:54,720 Speaker 1: that you know, their playing was high intensity every time 53 00:02:54,760 --> 00:02:56,240 Speaker 1: they go out. So we're gonna have to match that 54 00:02:56,280 --> 00:02:57,839 Speaker 1: and then get a little bit over the top of it. 55 00:02:57,960 --> 00:02:59,760 Speaker 1: Given what Joey Hunt was able to show you at 56 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: sen last week, what makes you optimistic about and positive 57 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,280 Speaker 1: about him going for hard? Yeah, Joey did a really 58 00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,160 Speaker 1: nice job. He played against the biggest guy there is ever, 59 00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: you know, and and he hung in there really well 60 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: all the way to the last play of the game. 61 00:03:11,720 --> 00:03:13,320 Speaker 1: It's one of my favorite players that Joey's in there 62 00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:15,600 Speaker 1: one on one, you know, with the big fell in 63 00:03:15,600 --> 00:03:17,480 Speaker 1: the middle is withing the winning touchdown pass and he 64 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 1: held him out of there. So he's ready to go. 65 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,520 Speaker 1: Like we said to you last week, he's really on 66 00:03:22,600 --> 00:03:25,239 Speaker 1: it game plan wise. He's really a bright football player. 67 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,880 Speaker 1: He helps other guys play well by his ability to 68 00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,120 Speaker 1: diagnose what's going on and communicate really well. And he's 69 00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 1: a good ballplayer too, So he just hadn't that chance 70 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,600 Speaker 1: to play a whole lot. So we're really, we feel 71 00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:37,720 Speaker 1: very comfortable with Joy in there. Fans can talk about 72 00:03:37,800 --> 00:03:40,840 Speaker 1: rivalries all they want when it comes to the Seahawks 73 00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:42,800 Speaker 1: and the Niners, but you really don't see it that way, 74 00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: do you. No. You know, I just decided a while 75 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:48,200 Speaker 1: back that it doesn't serve us. Well, you know, we 76 00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:49,880 Speaker 1: need to be good over a really long period of time, 77 00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,400 Speaker 1: and we need to find the consistency in the mentality 78 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:53,960 Speaker 1: that allows you to do that. So you're not a 79 00:03:53,960 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: team that goes up and down. And so I don't 80 00:03:58,000 --> 00:03:59,520 Speaker 1: want to play to the opponent. I don't want to 81 00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:01,280 Speaker 1: play to the the moment. I don't want to play 82 00:04:01,320 --> 00:04:04,280 Speaker 1: to the you know, the matchup, or who's on the 83 00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:05,880 Speaker 1: other team, who's coaching, or whatever. I don't wanty of 84 00:04:05,880 --> 00:04:07,680 Speaker 1: that stuff to be the factor because we're trying to 85 00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,360 Speaker 1: play as well as we can play every time we 86 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,120 Speaker 1: go and it has nothing to do with the other guys. 87 00:04:11,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 1: It doesn't matter where we are or who it is. 88 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,240 Speaker 1: And so it's that discipline that is so special when 89 00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,040 Speaker 1: you're coming down the stretch. You know, when you're finishing 90 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:22,960 Speaker 1: seasons and finishing playoff opportunities and things, you have to 91 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 1: keep playing week after week after week. So the whole 92 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,680 Speaker 1: rest of the season, we're developing our mentality so that 93 00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:30,160 Speaker 1: when we get to that part of the year, it 94 00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:32,960 Speaker 1: doesn't matter what's going on or what the circumstances are. 95 00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:35,120 Speaker 1: And if we can do that, then all I want 96 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: to do is play like we're capable. And I don't 97 00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: want to play down or up or I want to 98 00:04:38,520 --> 00:04:40,640 Speaker 1: play like we're capable of playing and outlast the other 99 00:04:40,680 --> 00:04:43,400 Speaker 1: guys that we're playing against and let them do their 100 00:04:43,440 --> 00:04:45,080 Speaker 1: thing and whatever they want to do they can And 101 00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 1: that allows us to be the most consistent and it's 102 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,520 Speaker 1: given us a pretty good mentality. Do you think that 103 00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:51,560 Speaker 1: mentality is one of the reasons why you've had as 104 00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:55,560 Speaker 1: much success as you had in have had in big games? Well, 105 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:58,320 Speaker 1: I think it's good players first and a really good quarterback. 106 00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: But I do think it's it is definitely part of 107 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:04,279 Speaker 1: the consistency. You know, we've we have some things about 108 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,560 Speaker 1: the nature of our team and a club that have 109 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:08,359 Speaker 1: shown up year after year and they will go all 110 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 1: the way back to SC two, you know, being able 111 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 1: to win the end and winning playoff games and winning 112 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,679 Speaker 1: in December and all that kind of stuff, finishing games 113 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:17,480 Speaker 1: and being good in the fourth quarter that I think 114 00:05:17,520 --> 00:05:19,039 Speaker 1: does have something to do. I hope it has to 115 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: do with, you know, how we approach it. So but 116 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 1: it's this one week at a time and we'll go 117 00:05:23,320 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 1: see if we can do it again. This week he mentioned, 118 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 1: you're a good quarterback in Russell Wilson. He's now getting 119 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,560 Speaker 1: national attention in terms of the MVP race a week 120 00:05:31,600 --> 00:05:33,560 Speaker 1: like this though, and what kind of challenge does he 121 00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,320 Speaker 1: face going up against the top defense and the MVP race. 122 00:05:36,400 --> 00:05:38,279 Speaker 1: Thing that I think is you know nothing, you know, 123 00:05:38,279 --> 00:05:40,000 Speaker 1: I mean, he needs to leave it do nothing too, 124 00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: because there's there's an ah thing you can do about it. 125 00:05:42,279 --> 00:05:44,160 Speaker 1: It's the middle of the season and that's just media 126 00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: hype and all that. What Russ needs to do is 127 00:05:46,720 --> 00:05:48,719 Speaker 1: just continue to play at a really high level. With 128 00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:51,599 Speaker 1: the high expectations that he says for himself and we 129 00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,240 Speaker 1: hold for our club and just keep pushing, you know. 130 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,320 Speaker 1: And he's doing every bit of it. So in this 131 00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,400 Speaker 1: game it's no different, it's no different. He needs to 132 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:01,960 Speaker 1: just keep doing what he does. See the things clearly 133 00:06:02,320 --> 00:06:05,440 Speaker 1: functioned fast as he has been and in the places 134 00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: they can. He got one more weapon this week. And 135 00:06:07,440 --> 00:06:08,960 Speaker 1: Josh Gordon, what do you think he's gonna add to 136 00:06:08,960 --> 00:06:12,480 Speaker 1: this offense? Oh see, we'll see. Um. He's an impressive athlete. 137 00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:15,960 Speaker 1: There's no doubt. You could tell during practice. He's got 138 00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:20,480 Speaker 1: terrific size. He's really fast, he's really smooth, really natural, 139 00:06:20,760 --> 00:06:23,280 Speaker 1: smart football player, picks things up, picked up a lot 140 00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 1: of offense already in a week's time. And so the 141 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:28,839 Speaker 1: chance of Josh helping us, it looks it looks favorable. 142 00:06:29,720 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: How and you know what the role is. I don't 143 00:06:31,200 --> 00:06:32,640 Speaker 1: know yet. You know, we're just gonna play football and 144 00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:34,200 Speaker 1: have some fun doing it and see what happens. Our 145 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 1: Twitter question this week comes from Devin bc LS coach 146 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,800 Speaker 1: aside from Century Link Field, what's your favorite place to 147 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,480 Speaker 1: play football? Game? Well, there's there's nothing like playing in 148 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: the Rose Bowl, you know, that's that's an amazing place 149 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:53,120 Speaker 1: to play. The setting, the history, the build up, the focus. 150 00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:55,440 Speaker 1: You know, there was nothing like those games, you know. 151 00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:57,719 Speaker 1: I mean there's National Championship games other places and stuff, 152 00:06:57,880 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 1: but playing at the Rose Bowl, to me was really 153 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:01,680 Speaker 1: something I grew up watching when I was a kid, 154 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,760 Speaker 1: and then getting an opportunity to play there a lot 155 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:06,080 Speaker 1: of times, and I've just always cherished that I'm a 156 00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:08,760 Speaker 1: flyover before the game also, every bit of it, every 157 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:10,480 Speaker 1: bit of it.
